Now when that I was married

And come along with me

For to fight the enemy'

Now Holland is a lovely land
C majorC           A minorAm
And in it there grows fine grain

Is there ne'er a man in Ireland?

Way there's men enough in Ireland
FF     C majorC       A minorAm

I'll wear no shoes all on my feet

No comb all in my hair

For to shade my beauty fair

Until the day I die
   C majorC
Since high wind and stormy sea's

Have parted me love and I
